Administration of microencapsulated ABRIINW.N7 with fructo-oligosaccharides and fenugreek on the mortality of tilapia challenged with .

We investigated the probiotic potential of a microencapsulated ABRIINW.N7 for control of infection in hybrid ( × ) red tilapia. A two-phase experiment approach was completed in which bacteria were propagated, from which a culture was isolated, identified using molecular techniques, and microencapsulated to produce a stable commercial fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and fenugreek (Fk) product of optimal concentration.

Herbal hydrogel-based encapsulated Enterococcus faecium ABRIINW.N7 improves the resistance of red hybrid tilapia against Streptococcus iniae.

Aims: The streptococcal disease has been associated with serious mortality and significant global economic loss in the tilapia farming industry. The overall goal of this work was to test herbal hydrogels based on encapsulated Enterococcus faecium ABRIINW.N7 for potential probiotic anti-microbial activity against Streptococcus iniae in red hybrid tilapia.
